Nope. My 1320 w/ the OEM Nexen 275/40R20 drag radials either dead-hooks or spins & hops. I can only imagine how bad a stick car can be.

That's one of the reasons for suggesting extra wheels to use tires with taller sidewalls that absorb a lot of the hit. My car may not have hooked 100% of the time since I started using 305/40R18 ET Street S/S, but it hasn't hopped w/ 'em. luck
